proposal necessary. Additional

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth is needed to contain aircraft

The Proposal

The FAA is consisting an amendment

to 14 CFR part 71 by modifying the

Class E airspace area at Fortuna, CA.

The establishment of a GPS RWY 29

SIAP at Rohnerville Airport has made
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 133 / Monday, July 13, 1998 / Proposed Rules 37511

this proposal necessary. Additional

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet above the surface is

needed to contain aircraft executing the

approach and departure procedures at

Rohnerville Airport. The intended effect

of this proposal is to provide adequate

controlled airspace for aircraft executing

the GPS RWY 29 SIAP at Rohnerville

Airport, Fortuna, CA. Class E airspace

designations are published in paragraph

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9E dated

September 10, 1997, and effective

September 16, 1997, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document would be

published subsequently in this Order.

This FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

established body by technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore, this proposed regulation—(1)

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)

does not warrant preparation of a

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated

impact is so minimal. Since this is a

routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed rule

would not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.
